Title no. 5 in Cincinnati!

Roger swept Novak Djokovic aside 6-0, 7-6 (7) today for a fifth title at the Cincinnati Masters. Roger has now also tied Rafael Nadal for the most Masters titles with 21.

"Breaking a record - always something special when that happens," Roger said.

Roger was extremely efficient today, making three out of his four break point opportunities in the opening set, not dropping a game himself. The second set was a closer issue, but Djokovic was unable to force a break point so the two took the set into a tiebreaker - with Roger claiming it nine points to seven.

This is a great boost for Roger ahead of the last grand slam of the season in the U.S. Open which starts on August 27th.

My God, that was magic. ThaT should prove to all the disbeleivers that -- YOUR ARE THE GREATEST EVER... What a pleasure to watch you in super mode.
Thank you Roger for all you are doing and for working so hard to come to results like that.
God bless you for the USO.
Love you always.
